My husband and I are really excited to see this as we are huge fans of the Theatre and the Arts. Back in March, we watched the production of Les Miserables at the Cebu Cultural Center. There aren't many cultural performances in Cebu so we make sure we don't miss them when they're here. Hearing that the ballet was in town, we knew we couldn't pass up the opportunity of seeing this literary masterpiece combined with classical dance.

I've always loved the costumes worn by ballerinas. They're elegant
and made of the most delicate fabrics such as lace and
chiffon. They're designed to promote ease of movement and graceful motion. Proving that dance fashion can be worn off stage, I made this ballet-inspired collage. I picked out chic romantic pieces in pretty shades of pink.
